From Risk to Opportunity: Making Nature Investible at Scale

Fora - Blue Fin Building, 110 Southwark St, London SE1 0SU

About this Event

Nature is often framed as a cost centre and a critical risk. For leading companies, this perception is shifting.

In a changing world, forward-thinking businesses are translating nature-positive action into tangible commercial value, from increased operating margins and more resilient supply chains to differentiated products and innovative new business models.

Join sustainability leaders, finance professionals, and investors for an exclusive London Climate Action Week event focused on moving beyond compliance and impact to explore nature as a source of commercial opportunity.

Drawing on emergent global frameworks, including TNFD and WEF, and practical case studies from major corporates, the panel will explore:

  • What nature opportunities look like in practice
  • How businesses can identify, enable, and scale them for competitive advantage
  • The critical role of business and finance in the nature positive transition

Speakers include: Andrew Mitchell, Founder & CEO at Equilibrium Futures, and Laura Fisher, Programme Lead, Nature Positive Industries, World Economic Forum

Natcap; Global Canopy

Natcap: Natcap was founded in 2018 by a team of researchers at the University of Oxford, including Professor Baroness Kathy Willis and Professor Dieter Helm, leaders in the emerging field of natural capital. They recognised a critical gap: while cutting-edge science was advancing how we measure and manage interactions with nature, businesses lacked the tools to translate this knowledge into real-world decision-making. What began as an academic initiative soon evolved into something more: a company dedicated to delivering both advisory and innovative solutions for businesses navigating the complexities of measuring and managing their interactions with nature. Today, Natcap is at the forefront of the nature intelligence space, helping corporates, financial institutions, and policymakers move beyond commitments to meaningful action.

Global Canopy: Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit that targets the market forces destroying nature. We do this by improving transparency and accountability. We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide to help them make better decisions about nature, forests and people.
